Inspiring Growth: Women Entrepreneurs Manufacturing Hope Across The Globe
Women are the world’s greatest untapped natural resource, with the power and potential to grow the global economy. Touching on the Dressmaker of Khair Khana in Afghanistan and Liberian women pushing their country and their companies forward, we see that real differences can be made if we seed their potential. We can go from seeing women as victims of tough economies to architects of growth. Because suffocated opportunity is the enemy of prosperity and stability — and the world has no talent to spare.
BMO is proud to host “Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs” evening to acknowledge the achievements of women entrepreneurs in 3 categories: 1) Global Growth & Innovation; 2) Charitable and Community Giving; and 3) Expansion and Small Business Growth.
6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
